New Snacking with a twist - CORNADO

  New Snacking with a twist - CORNADO Searching for a new snack is not easy especially when you want to keep a check on the health benefits and not compromise on taste. As food lovers we keep hunting for such items looking for that uniqueness in taste, keep a track of the nutritional value it offers and of course a value for money product.  After much of hunting, both online through various channels, and visiting many stores across the neighborhood, we came across a corn snack - Cornado. Corn lovers would appreciate the benefit of corn, the amount of fiber and protein it brings to every intake  A good tea time snack, has various options to choose from - Cheese Burst, Tomato blast and Thai Chili rush. While the first two did not offer the fair bit of uniqueness we were looking for, however, Thai chili rush was able to ring the cords of exactly we were looking for.     We tried the cheese burst and Thai chili rush, paired with tea and our favorite television series made this as one of ou

Kari Kari - The Japanese trail mix

Image
Snacks -  flavors, healthy, fried, baked, spices, varieties, there is a huge and ever going list and forget the combinations.  Always when you want to explore more, you would come across something tastefully new and that's how we came across Kari Kari. Of course this is a traditional Japanese snack, something very different from the savory items we find here in India. This is offered in four flavors and every pack has its own uniqueness, with the taste it offers.  Made up of rice, fully roasted not fried, no added oil and rich in protein also gives this item a well deserved 5 stars on the healthy product scale.  Chili Garlic - good blend of red chili and garlic in the perfectly roasted savory item, a bit on the spicier side but a great companion when you want to taste something spicy after having a very bland meal. Salt and Pepper - as a name suggests a good blend of salt, pepper and herbs making a great tea time snack especially during a lazy evening.  Wasabi - great combination

Tagz - the tastier and healthy potato chips

Image
Potato chips with an amazing taste - Welcome Tagz  From childhood we always had been a fan of potato chips and the various flavors it offers, its crunchiness makes it a favorable snack at any time of the day.    Taste has it own drawback, what is super tasty may not be super healthy and what is super healthy may bot be super tasty, you get the drift.. Fried chips has always been the tastier version of chips whereas the baked chips are the ones which are healthier but loose on the taste provided by the fried ones. That's our guilt, that's when we switch from the fried to baked or reduce the consumption to a very small amount, but hey we like to eat potato chips.  Being in search for potato chips, came across Tagz - an innovative way the chips are prepared - they are popped - which is not fried and not baked, just popped. It seems the health and non-healthy versions of chips got married and we have a balanced yet tasty version of chips which are light on stomach.  Ordered through

Save Nature | Recycle Flowers | Health Benefits

Image
We in India are devotional and spiritual people, few visiting temples  almost everyday to people who go in a week or even less, but we do and god resides in our heart.  Offering comes in form of flowers, candles, water, even dairy products like milk, curd and ghee. We often think what happens after the offering has been made to the gods, are they just thrown away or fed to animals or just lie in a barren waste land. While devotion is one aspect, but in this world where natural resources are depleting, we often talk or hear about recycling and reusing whatever best we can. Welcome to the world of recycling flowers, welcome to the world of fragrance, welcome to the world of Phool. We came across the products through various online media posts and with their mission statement on recycling flowers from temple use, made us immediately try at least few products. When we visited their online shopping portal, we were in for a surprise as the fragrances on offer were in abundance and we took a

Welcome back childhood

Image
All of us would remember the childhood nostalgia of going back to our native, our birth place meeting our old school friends or a good family time with our caring and loving grand parents.  We would often spend days planning for such a trip and wait impatiently, with every day really hard to pass, finally when the day and the time comes, it goes with the blink of an eye.  During the travel we would often recollect our past memories, the fun we used to have, the games we used to play, picnics, eating a lot without a calorie counter in head and chocolates and candies... yes you heard it right ..candies ! You would agree our childhood candies were different, not because we used to eat in unlimited supply :) but in taste and flavor which is hard to find by now. No matter how hard you try, they are not an easy find especially the way we are tied in our professional and family duties.  Say hello to Go Desi ! the candies are back and so is the childhood. Relive not with everything at least wi
